Hi Nat818,

A very warm welcome to the forum and congratulations on the arrival of your new baby. The breasts do change after you've had a baby, so here's hoping that these changes are due to that and turn out to be nothing to worry about. I have had 2 bouts of cancer and 1 of pre-cancer, all within the first year of diagnosis. Not all lumps are cancerous. It is a fact that only 20% of those who attend the breast clinic get a cancer diagnosis. Although I have had 2 bouts, I have also been fortunate on other occasions to have a benign lump. It is impossible to predict what you have without having some simple tests at the breast clinic, which is why you've been referred.

You should get your appointment through within 2 weeks from the date of referral, although the actual appointment can be a little further ahead than the 2 weeks. I do hope that nothing untoward is found. Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
